News: Meningitis, Puerto Rico, Rob Ford, China, Russia

Epidemiologists puzzled over NYC's Meningitis outbreak: "What is concerning is that it is largely restricted to men who have sex with men. So we don’t really understand why that is.” Have you been vaccinated?

Thousands marched in support of gay rights in the capital of Puerto Rico of San Juan: "Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and Sen. Ramón Nieves Pérez, who sponsored the sweeping anti-LGBT non-discrimination bill the Senate on Thursday passed by a 15-11 vote margin, unfurled an LGBT Pride flag from the balcony of City Hall as marchers passed."

Britney Spears claims the leaked version of her upcoming single is just an early demo.

Some promising yet frustrating news
out of China on the International Day Against Homophobia: "Activists
said they felt encouraged when the communist party's official mouthpiece
China Central Television published a Weibo post on Friday morning
advocating respect for the LGBT community. But the post was soon deleted
without any explanation."

Gay men have still not learned the lesson from the AID's crisis- are we going to let our dicks control our brains?!

And the rest of the world should overwhelmingly change their policy of allowing the adoption and the immigration of Russians into their countries. What's fair is fair. No one wants to go to Russia.

Meningitis is not spread by dicks. Stop the misinformation. It's too easy to blame the gays for everything. You know, those GAYS are always spreading diseases. Those GAYS are so at risk for every disease. Those GAYS really should control themselves.
Don't you think it would be a good idea to for authorities to examine exactly what were the risk factors involved in those cases instead of assuming that it was just about being GAY?

I puzzled over the Puerto Rico story for a moment. An anti-LGBT bill is good news? Oh, an LGBT anti-discrimination bill.
